Creator:: Saleh, Budiman
Abstract:: To be competitive in domestic and international markets, manufacturing management is routinely faced with the decision to automate or replace existing production facilities with advanced manufacturing technologies. Installation of advanced manufacturing technologies requires high capital investment, and there is much evidence to suggest that automation for automation's sake has proven...
Resource Type:: Dissertation

Creator:: Kretz, Thomas
Abstract:: For many decades, production and assembly lines have played an important role in industrial manufacturing systems. In particular, they have proved to be an efficient way to organize the production of high volume products in many industries. In their effort to improve the efficiency of production lines, researchers encountered two...
Resource Type:: Masters Thesis

Creator:: Ho, Chi-Sung
Abstract:: Increasing automation and highly flexible manufacturing processes cause increasing complexity for manufacturing system. FMS (Flexible Manufacturing System) is an approach to solve this problem. Since the elements of the FMS and manufacturing process performance are closely interrelated, the application of simple modeling and emulation techniques in the planning stages for...

Creator:: Kim, Joohee
Abstract:: Expert systems have been suggested as a solution for difficult problems, including FMS scheduling. As one of the aspects of artificial intelligence (AI), expert systems have achieved considerable success in recent years in medical science, chemistry, and engineering. However, building an expert system is a difficult task, the most crucial...
